Feb 20, 2004 -- 60 percent of public on the DNC list

Clark is excited to say that the public has responded with great enthusiasm to the Federal “Do Not Call” list. Since Clark first started talking about the list last year, about 60 percent of the American public has signed up. That was in spite of several court challenges that stalled the process. So, how it’s working so far? Of the people who have signed up, one in four have not received a single telemarketing call. That’s huge. A little more than half say they still get some calls, but it is far less than before. So, junk phone calls are severely reduced. And, only five percent of people say the system has not worked for them. Clark wants to convince the other 40 percent of the public to sign up. That should be enough, don’t you think? So, how do you do it? Go to donotcall.gov and register your phone number. You then receive an e-mail confirmation that you must respond to, and your calls should stop in a few months. IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

What others are saying

  • telephone solicitations
    Telemarketers have found ways to call folks on the Do Not Call List without identifying themselves. Any suggestions? I would like to be able to file complaint.
  • Credit card companies calling my number that is on the Do Not Call List
    I have had a TracFone for 2 years, and I am still getting calls from Washington Mutual Card Services for the person that had that phone number before I got it. I have told that company over 50 times that I am not the person that used to have this number, and that this number is on the Do Not Call List, but I still get calls on a daily basis. I have registered complaints with the DoNotCall.Gov on many occasions, but it has done absolutely no good. What can I do? My E Mail is:michael.e.hicks@navy.mil
